Well...... you need A LITTLE bit of clearance for the gas mixture to lubricate the piston and cylinder. Plus your piston expands when it gets hot.
If it's a diesel NO, Petrol Sometimes.
usually it means that a cylinder is not firing. have a compression test done. it could also be a burt valve or a hole in the piston though that is not likely the case. dead cylinder, no spark.
force = pressure x area = 2000 x 5 = 10,000 pounds
If the piston is just a solid or hollow cylinder, you can use a pair of big channel locks and an old brake pad to squeeze it back in, if the piston has little cut outs in it you will need to rent a tool that twists the piston back in to place, like a bolt.

Bad plug Bad coil Bad plug wire Bad valve Blown piston
If you have antifreeze in any cylinder, this indicates a blown head gasket in that area of the head. Could also be a warped or a small crack in the head. I have seen this over and over again. Cylinder nice and shiny if the engine was running, due to the water and piston cleaning the wall of the cylinder.
A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.
